I am again seeking a clip from an experimental art film I once saw of a reader reading a book. (The camera zoomed in on the reader's eyes, then hands turning the pages, then back to the eyes.)

I thought it was from the Fluxus group--but I have never been able to ID it. Any folks recognize it?

BTW: I picked my original Twitter handle (@smallfind), because I have the spoilheap DOT com web domain ...

... & a digging friend once joked that smallFind AT spoilheap would be an amusing email address.

So now you know.

@log Thank'ee!

I have a PhD in (Classical) Archaeology; an MLIS (library science degree); an MSc in Archaeology and the History of Disease (50% human osteoarchaeology). I trained in archaeological theory at Lampeter in the early-mid 1990s but I have also worked as a commercial field archaeologist.

Looking for a job that would combine all those experiences & skill-sets--but also looking to learn new skills! In Vermont and/ or New England. I am also open to returning to the UK.

Anyone interested?

Hang on. Do any folks in the #archaeology & #GLAM communities use Nightshade or Glaze to poison their images for LLM AI?

I need at least 4 more folk to sign up to my Edinburgh Adult Education Programme archaeology class in Craigentinny, or the class will be cancelled. Thank you!

But then maybe I should also swap the handles around, making smallfind the glammr.us profile and spoilheap the archaeo.social profile? Anyone with BIG OPINIONS about this? I fear the whole business will be a tremendous nuisance.

Wondering if I should move my scholar.social account to glammr.us ...
